IL18 RIVER BRIDGE PROJECT PUBLIC MEETING #1 SUMMARY October 4, 2021
1.0 Introduction The existing IL 18 bridge over the Illinois River at the city of Henry was constructed in 1934. Due to the age and condition of the bridge, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) District 4 is evaluating potential improvement options for the bridge. The project study limits extend from the intersection of IL 18 and 3rd Street in Henry on the west to the intersection of IL 18 and IL 26 on the east (Figure 1). The IL 18 River Bridge Project study will take a detailed look at potential improvements to IL 18 and the bridge over the Illinois River. IDOT develops and implements projects using a three-phase process. The IL 18 River Bridge Project is currently at the beginning of Phase I: Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Studies. During this phase, IDOT will study a range of potential improvements, conduct public involvement activities, and complete an environmental analysis. The Phase I Study will determine the alignment, bridge type, and right-of-way needs for the project. The purpose of the project is to accommodate IL 18 traffic through the project area and across the Illinois River on a transportation system that is structurally sound, meets current design stands, provides a safe crossing for the public, reduces flooding over IL 18, supports regional connectivity needs, and meets the need of river traffic. IDOT hosted the first public open house meeting to kick-off the IL 18 River Bridge Project Phase I Study. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the project and solicit feedback on the purpose and need. Interested persons visited the open house between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. IDOT provided information regarding the study schedule and process, purpose and need, public involvement activities, and Section 106 and Section 4(f). Attendees had the opportunity to review exhibits, provide comments, and meet with IDOT and study team representatives on a one- on-one basis. The public meeting was held on August 25, 2021 between the hours of 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at the Henry United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall on 225 Lincoln Street, Henry, Illinois 61537.Seventy-one people attended the public meeting.

4.0 Comments Received
The Project Team encouraged participants to provide comments on the information presented at the meeting and to ask
questions. Comments forms were available at the meeting. They were asked to either leave the form in the comment box
at the meeting or to mail them to the Project Team at the address on the comment form. Self-addressed envelopes were
provided. The comment period ended on September 10, 2021.
4.1 COMMENT FORMS RECEIVED AT THE MEETINGS
The comment forms distributed at the meeting included five main questions as well as an area to provide contact
information. Four comment forms were received at the meeting, and one additional comment form was mailed in after
the meeting (Appendix D). Listed below are the responses received to the five questions asked on the comment form.
QUESTION 1:
The purpose of this meeting is to give you an opportunity to learn more about the IL 18 River Bridge Project, speak with
project representatives, and tell us what transportation issues and community values are most important to you. What
transportation issues and community values do you want to see reflected in the draft Purpose and Need statement and
considered during this study?
Responses to Question 1:
• Not to displace our businesses.
• Make it safer for vehicles and large implements/farm/school buses, etc.
• Bridge needs to be replaced with design similar to new bridge at Spring Valley (lane width, shoulders).
• IDOT needs to discontinue pretreating with calcium chloride. Public should be able to survive “winter driving
conditions”.
IL 18 River Bridge Project – Public Meeting #1 Summary 4
• Old bridge needs to remain in service while new is constructed.
• I see no "community values" reflected in the purpose and need statement. The statement appears to only touch
upon design, structural, and safety standards. In no way does the purpose and need touch upon community
issues.
• We are 8 years minimum from new bridge. Please maintain the bridge we currently have.
• Because my home is rather close to Hwy 18, I am concerned about the location of the new bridge. If my home
will be in its path, I would appreciate adequate advance notice so that I will have time to find a new home and
get settled.
• It is very important that the current bridge not be shut down, as it would have a very negative effect on our
community.
• Transportation issues: A wider bridge would be ideal. We are sure you are already aware of the flooding on east
side of the bridge.
• Community values: a bridge to have character and for aesthetic appealing to the community. Attempt to keep
the landing of the bridge as close to curved landing on the west side of the bridge. 15 foot concrete walls will not
be very appealing to our current down town. The Illinois Rover and town view are a large attribute to our
community, we would not like to lose that when crossing the bridge.
QUESTION 2:
The project team is also collecting information on the existing conditions in the study area. Please rank the top three
factors that are most important to you, with “1” being most important and “3” being the least important.

About the Study 225 Lincoln Street
The IL 18 River Bridge Project study will take a detailed look at potential Henry, IL 61537
improvements to IL 18 and the bridge over the Illinois River.
IDOT and its consultant team (i.e., the project study team) will inventory existing conditions of the IL 18
roadway and bridge, traffic and crash data, and environmental constraints as it moves forward in the
process. The project study team, with input from the public, will also develop and refine improvement options
(alternatives). The existing conditions, alternatives, potential impacts, and proposed mitigation will be detailed
in the project’s Environmental Document. The result of the study will be the selection of a preferred alternative
for improvements through the project study area that addresses identified transportation issues and serves
the area’s future needs.

Project Development Process
IDOT develops and implements projects using a three-phase process. The IL 18 River Bridge Project is
currently at the beginning of Phase I: Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Studies. During this phase,
IDOT will study a range of potential improvements, conduct public involvement activities, and complete an
environmental analysis. The first part of Phase I will be conducted under a process called Planning and
Environment Linkages (PEL). This process is used for early collaboration to facilitate better planning and
provide for expedited reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This Phase I Study will
determine the alignment, bridge type, and right-of-way needs for the project. When the study is approved, the
project will move forward with Phase II: Contract Plan Preparation and Land Acquisition. This phase includes
developing detailed contract plans and purchasing land for the project, if needed. Once funding and permits
are secured, the project moves into Phase III: Construction.

The NEPA Process
NEPA is a federal law that requires federally funded Alternatives will be
projects, such as the IL 18 River Bridge Project, evaluated for impacts on:
to analyze alternatives and identify potential effects
of those alternatives on the environment. Social and Economic Factors
An Environmental Document will be developed for Agriculture
the IL 18 River Bridge Project. When it is complete, Historic Properties
the Environmental Document will identify the solution Air quality
that will best address the transportation issues and
then detail how this solution was selected. The Noise
document will explain the potential impacts and Energy
benefits resulting from the project, and identify ways Natural Resources – plants, water bodies,
to avoid or lessen the negative impacts. These efforts threatened and endangered species
help ensure that environmental resources and other
factors are integrated into project decisions. Special Lands – parks/recreationIL 18 RIVER BRIDGE PROJECT
Purpose and Need
The purpose of the project is to accommodate IL 18 traffic through the project area and across the Illinois
River on a transportation system that is structurally sound, meets current design standards, provides a safe
crossing for the public, reduces flooding over IL 18, supports regional connectivity needs, and meets the
needs of river traffic.
Project Needs:
• Structural Integrity: Condition of the superstructure and substructure
• Design Standards: The narrow roadway deck does not meet current standards
• Safety Concerns: The narrow roadway increases the likelihood of crashes
• Regional Connectivity:
− The bridge is an essential link connecting Marshall and Putnam counties and the surrounding region
− Flooding over IL 18 often results in roadway and bridge closures resulting in adverse travel time
Bridge Condition
The bridge was constructed in 1934. In 1988, 54 years after its
construction, IDOT performed a major rehabilitation project on
the structure. The concrete bridge deck was completely replaced.
Deteriorated and damaged steel members as well as concrete
substructures were repaired. Since this last rehabilitation, vehicular
use, weather, and salt usage have caused deterioration to the structural
steel and concrete that form the piers and deck. Although the bridge has
undergone extensive repairs, it is approaching the end of its
repairable life.
IDOT inspects the bridge annually and will continue to repair the bridge
as necessary until the project is complete.
Schedule
The project is currently in Phase I, which includes preliminary engineering and an environmental study.
This phase should last approximately 24 months. In Phase I, proposed geometry, bridge type, environmental
concerns, and right-of-way requirements are identified. Phase I will conclude with design approval by the
Federal Highway Administration. Following this approval, IDOT can proceed into Phase II of the project
which includes final design and right-of-way acquisition.

Community Advisory Group Meeting Public Meeting/Hearing Environmental Coordination MeetingIL 18 RIVER BRIDGE PROJECT Public Involvement Activities Public involvement is an important part of the Phase I study and includes many activities such as Stakeholder Interviews, Community Advisory Group Meetings, Public Meetings, project website, and a newsletter. The Stakeholder Interviews were conducted to engage stakeholders, share information, and foster discussion by addressing specific project issues, allowing for more specialized discussions and input, and aiding the general public in developing a better understanding of the project goals and objectives. Although time does not permit every individual stakeholder to be interviewed, selections were made to gather input from all types of stakeholders such as local agencies and organizations, members of the business community, and affected property owners. During May and June of this year, the project study team conducted 17 stakeholder interviews with 72 stakeholders in the region. A Community Advisory Group (CAG) was established that includes county and municipal officials, representatives of businesses, agricultural organizations, residents, and other members of the local community with an interest in the project. The meetings with the CAG are designed to encourage timely and meaningful opportunities for input and to encourage information sharing and collaboration. The first two CAG meetings for this project were held in June and July of 2021 to discuss the project’s problem statement, purpose and need, and potential alignment alternatives. Three additional CAG meetings will be held in December 2021, April 2022, and December 2022. Public Meetings and a public hearing will be large-scale meetings held to encourage public attendance and foster public awareness of project developments and alternatives under study. These meetings also will provide a forum for general public input, including concerns and comments regarding project alternatives. Three public events are anticipated to coincide with major project milestones: • P ublic Meeting #1 will be held on August 25, 2021, which is the project kickoff, providing information regarding the study process and objectives, additional outreach opportunities, the project purpose and need, and an opportunity for the public to share its perspectives and provide comments. • P ublic Meeting #2 will present the alternatives that were further evaluated and their evaluation results; alternatives that will be carried forward; and evaluation methods. he Public Hearing will present the Environmental Document and preferred alternative. The public hearing • T is part of a Federal requirement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Stakeholders will have the opportunity to view and provide comments on the Environmental Document and preferred alternative. We encourage and welcome Public Comments throughout the project. At Public Meeting #1, there will be comment sheets available for attendees to fill out or to mail back to the project study team. The public can also send comments to Contact@IL18RiverBridgeProject.com or fill out the online comment form at www.IL18RiverBridgeProject.com. When the environmental document is published, a formal public comment period will be held which will include the public hearing.
